I know nothing about TV stations but it seems to me that the issue was an operational one that went unchecked – repeatedly. It wasn’t some sinister fraud run at the highest level.

Perhaps most ridiculous is the give-away. Having failed to successfully run a mass-participation event once, GMTV are running another that’s giving away cash prizes of £10K. If it wasn’t so inequitable it would be laughable!
